Rawlio posted this to his blog today: "Again, as stated before, Christmas has transcended from the birth of Jesus to the a celebration of family and friends. I can dig that. Even those atheists can appreciate that. Again, I once knew a guy who loathed secular events, which I find strange. Understandably, it's not logical, but hey, where's the fun in not celebrating?"

Not sure if he was talking about me or someone else, but I do loathe such events. A quick response...

And liking these celebrations is logical? No. I'm an atheist, and I'm all about the logic. I generally find people who believe in some religion to be incapable of grasping logic. I look at Christmas and other celebrations. Logically, there's no reason for these things to exist. Why celebrate mythical events? It's illogical to do so. In fact, it completely defies logic. It's irrational, even.

Besides, if someone needs to set aside a special day each year to be good to their common man, well, then I guess they're just not very good people in general, eh?
